But before we get into the theoretical matchups between FIU and 1AA teams, I think FIU needs to actually score an offensive TD and play as one unit before they increase in those rankings.

<p>Something FAU and FIU fans can agree on for a change:</p>
<p>I found this article at sportsline.com, talking about how I-AA teams are now eligable for the top 25. I am all for it, as I know I-AA teams can be very, very solid. However, in the article one observer says that the top I-AA teams could beat most of the entire Sun Belt!! Im sick of people ripping on the Sun Belt!</p>
<p>In our 3rd year at FAU we made the final four in the I-AA tourney, we are obviously a lot better now then we were in those days. To say a I-AA team could beat us now is insane. Maybe on a lucky day, but lets be real, the top teams in the Sun Belt can take those I-AA teams 9 times out of 10. FIU could take most of those I-AA teams! They are good, but people are going overboard with credit and are picking on our dam conference!!</p>FIUPanther07 commented on 'Golden Panthers fans. . ."I'm listening"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54eedbaa188342007-09-07T12:50:06Z2007-09-07T12:50:07ZFIUPanther07Mary 27 - FIU 3 This is a building year, I look foward to 08' and especially 09'.<p>Mary 27 - FIU 3</p>

No more Entourage on Sundays Pete</p>
<p>I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if we saw quite a bit of improvement from the O-line, mostly because Maryland&#39;s front 7 does not come even close to Penn State&#39;s</p>
<p>I just read that FIU came to a partnership with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, allowing all public school students to go to FIU&#39;s home games for free.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any info on the shuttles to the OB on Sat? Thanks</p>

Changing to another subject, I hope our stadium looks better and Beaver Stadium, that place looks like the old FIU stadium a la Barry Bonds. Yes, I know the place is huge but it looks like a bunch of bleachers rather than a sports coliseum. The fans and the atmosphere was great and I hope we can learn something from that.<br />
I agree with 24/7 we are about 3 to 4 years away, but we are on our way. <br />
I am tired to see the red turtles all over here, but I know they will be ready this time and they will try to embarrass us at home. so I predict<br />

The game was depressing but its these types of games that will make us prouder when our guys turn things around. I went to Hooligans and saw the game with the Penn State alumni. Wow, those people are fans. Very gracious as well. It is something you didn&#39;t see in Sfla until FIU started playing football. Anyway, I&#39;ll be at the Maryland game with my new FIU jersey!<br />

Your demeanor, along with the blogs, will gain adepts even among our (FIU) most heated rivals, so long as they possess a minimun level of common sense, intelligence, and decency. </p>
<p>Now, I feel like I&#39;m not ready to make an objective and informed decision. For some reason, I am thinking for this game more with my heart than with my mind, and tempted to either pick FIU to win, or lose close...I will wait a couple of days, I think....</p>NYCFIUFan commented on 'Golden Panthers fans. . ."I'm listening"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54ed7fffd88332007-09-05T21:18:09Z2007-09-05T21:18:10ZNYCFIUFanThanks Pete for the encouraging words on the FIU program.

Now thats cool. Like I said in your last post, I really do want you guys to do well, and maybe one day the FAU/FIU rivalry will be on the big stage. But until then, we own you! haha :)</p>
<p>We both have tough games this weekend. I would wish you guys luck, but my head would explode! lol keep the good stuff coming Pete. </p>Messod Bendayan commented on 'Golden Panthers fans. . ."I'm listening"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54ed7f7de88332007-09-05T20:22:17Z2007-09-05T20:22:18ZMessod BendayanThanks for the words, Pete.

Nice to see someone hasn&#39;t gone completely loony after that butt-kicking. I mean, seriously... some of you REALLY thought FIU would pull off the upset? I get being a homer and all, but come on. Last I checked, we&#39;re not Appalachian State or something. ;)</p>
<p>(Seriously... I gotta thank Appy for that win over Michigan. I&#39;ve always felt the best I-AA (or FCS) teams would be better than at least 50% of teams in Division I. Hell, a team like Appy could probably win the Sun Belt. Nice to see I&#39;ve got evidence now!)</p>
<p>Anyway... for next week&#39;s score... before last week, I thought FIU&#39;s best chance for an upset outside the Belt was the Terps. I still think that, but I&#39;m not so confident we&#39;ll see a win. This team is real green... greener than I thought. But fortunately, Maryland&#39;s lost players, too, so that will balance out somewhat. </p>
<p>If MC&#39;s the kind of guy I think he is, he&#39;s going to take a beating like that VERY personally, and I wouldn&#39;t be surprised to see FIU come out with a real fire under their butts on Saturday. Maryland&#39;s just not a very good team, ACC nonwithstanding. </p>
<p>If any game&#39;s winnable outside the conference, this one&#39;s it, and because I&#39;m a homer at heart... </p>
<p>FIU 17, Maryland 10</p>

Look, I appreciate that there were positives in the FIU/PSU game, but if you put whip cream on top of a pile of $#@!, that&#39;s all you got, ya know what I am saying. I thought that MC would have tried more trickery, I remember that is what Rutgers used to do against the U when both were in the Big East and rutgers didn&#39;t have the athletes to keep up. maybe MC shuld try some of that. PP, great blog, but we can all read b/tw the lines and realize that this team is still a godd 3 or 4 years away from even competing in the Sunbelt, much less Nationally.</p>
